Brief Summary: RATIONALE Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor
PURPOSE This clinical trial is studying how well sunitinib malate works in treating patients with kidney cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Primary
To determine whether a link exists between the effectiveness of therapy with sunitinib malate and development of blood biomarkers specifically the angiogenic factors VEGF and interleukin-8 IL-8 in patients with kidney cancer
Secondary
To evaluate the link between the time to progression and the development of VEGF and IL-6 CXCL7 and CXCK5 blood levels in these patients To evaluate the link between VEGF and IL-6 CXCL7 and CXCK5 blood levels and disease-free survival of these patients after 3 6 9 and 12 months of treatment To evaluate the link between VEGF and IL-6 CXCL7 and CXCK5 blood levels and overall survival of these patients
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study
Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily on days 1-28 Courses repeat every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Blood samples are collected at baseline and then every 6 weeks for pharmacokinetic analysis
